Deborah Knight to leave 2GB for full-time role at Nine News

Channel 9 star Deborah Knight is officially leaving her top-rating show on 2GB, as the journalist revealed her next big TV job.

Deborah Knight is set to return to TV after quitting her top-rating show on 2GB.

The Sydney-based journalist, 52, has been presenting Money News for the Nine-owned radio station since early last year, having replaced departing host Brooke Corte.

In her full-time broadcast comeback, Knight will present the national 9News Morning bulletin at 11.30am weekdays, and will also helm 9News Afternoon in Sydney.

Deb Knight has announced she's leaving 2GB to take up a full time role at 9News.

Knight already hosts A Current Affair on Saturdays, which she will continue to do in her newly-expanded role.

“I’m incredibly excited to be stepping back into a full-time television role with 9News and Current Affairs. It’s a fantastic opportunity to be part of the daily news cycle and connect with viewers during these important bulletins,” Knight said.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in radio, particularly hosting Money News, and I’m grateful for the wonderful listeners who tuned in.”

Knight will host her final Money News episode on July 3, with her replacement to be announced in coming weeks.

Her appointment as a permanent host of 9News Mornings and on the afternoon bulletin in Sydney will give viewers a regular host, which has in recent months been shared by a revolving team of reporters including Kate Creedon, Sophie Walsh, Mark Burrows and Lizzie Pearl.

Knight has presented Money News for Nine Radio since early last year.

A replacement for Knight on the radio show is yet to be announced.

Prior to her appointment as Money News host, Knight replaced Steve Price on 2GB’s Afternoons from 2020 until 2023.

Before that, she had an ill-fated stint as co-host of Nine Networks’ Today show in 2019 alongside Georgie Gardner, in which she replaced Karl Stefanovic following his axing.

The gig only lasted a year due to declining ratings, with Stefanovic making his triumphant return to Today in 2020 alongside Allison Langdon.

Knight first joined the Nine Network in 2011, having begun her broadcast career at the ABC before later joining Network Ten as their US correspondent from 2001.
